The Clean Panty Thread Vol. 1

Do you ever go to bed, Nay? You were up chatting with us and now it's, what....6:15am there? And you've been up for a few hours.

Freak.

I roll over at 5am....like normal people.

U.S. Now Leads World in Swine Flu Cases

http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20090511/hl_hsn/usnowleadsworldinswineflucases

The story gives a state by state breakdown, too. It's weird there are so many cases in Illinois and Wisconsin as compared to the surrounding states. I think the Chicago area had a recent big outbreak.

The good news is they're saying the cases in the U.S. aren't as severe, and are more like the normal flu. But they are keeping a careful eye out, because they don't know how it might mutate.

I've really not kept up with the flu news last week. I was tired of hearing what an epidemic, when the regular flu kills thousands a year, too.

I pray none of you have to deal with this in your own families and friends.

Uh huh. You go to bed early too....

(freak)

I saw that episode!!!
I love me some Nathon Fillion.

I missed it, but saw Nathon's, or whoever it is, twitter about it..

It's funny, Nathan has been popular for quite a while with the sci-fi crowd, but I guess the mainstream is just now beginning to notice him. He's popular with male and female audiences alike, and has quite the following.

On an unrelated note, I just treated myself to a new DVD converter program...and it's FAST! Much faster than any previous program I've used before. Not only that, but the quality of the converted files is fantastic. It was $29.90 on sale, and it can actually convert stuff the other programs I had wouldn't convert. I'm working on Oliver Twist right now, then will work on Wuthering Heights.

OMG, you know the story circulating today about the chick who found the "lost" Twilight scripts? Well as it turns out, it apparently happened right here in St. Louis.

You remember me stating that George Clooney was filming in St. Louis the past few months, right? Well, apparently they were staying at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel (the same hotel Gerry stayed in while filming GOTL). Well anywho...it would appear one of the actresses from Twilight was also staying there (maybe she's also in the Clooney movie?). Well anyway...someone was sifting through the Chase Hotel trash and found the scripts.

She could have turned them into the tabloids, but instead turned them into the studio or whatever. I hope she got some good compensation for it.

Why oh why do these things happen right under my nose???? What I could have done with those scripts....then again, I doubt I'd be sifting thru trash. Who knows, maybe she's an employee?

Maybe I need to go apply at some hotels for employment.

What program is that?

The price is excellent!

What kind of file does justin.tv take?

I still have to put my videos up on my channel.

Think about it...there may even be people we don't even know about, visiting the hotel.

And yes, wonder what she was sifting through trash for? I can say I've had to do the same when I've lost something...but that's my own garbage.

lol...

I doubt G can feel any dirt pertaining to karaoke, or other things...

have you done it before?

I'm scared of doing karaoke.

I don't do karaoke. I watch others do karaoke and laugh at them.

It's much more fun.

I have never heard of anyone singing karaoke while sober before Butler.

Nay, please drink (heavily) beforehand. And have someone video tape it for our entertainment.

LOL!

I love singing, and everyone else I knew had done karaoke before. We actually had a church talent show, that included karaoke, and I hadn't done it before. It's nerve wrecking if you've never done it before, no matter how much I loved singing. I just don't perform in front of others by myself. Ok, outside of the hula, but I had been doing that since I was 4.

I did it, singing a couple songs no one really knew, and we wound up spending hours after the show, just singing everything we liked.

I don't do any of the typical stuff, because then I can get away with sounding like I do. I sang Kung Fu Fighting once...kind of fun. Someone got up and started doing karate.

I even started buying cds and have a portable karaoke machine.

One of my favorite songs to do is Lambada, since it's sung in Brazilian Portuguese.

I do prefer singing with other people. I'm not confident about my voice, and I think I've lost my voice in the last couple of years, from working in the dirty office I worked in for 6 years.

Nothing like my weather radio blaring its alarm to blow me out of bed.....

So now that I am up and trying to fall back asleep - I thought I'd treat you all with a little something:
Here is the Scottish band Travis doing a cover of a song that I know you all know.....

Yes, I have actually Alice. It was at a staff Christmas party and it took a couple of beers (and some bullying from so-called friends) to get me up for Mamma Mia.

I don't mind being laughed at, Julie. I know I'm dreadful.

I was at work, Tex! Jeepers, my audience was a few parents and 20+ eight year olds.

The kids went wild for Abba so I joined in with Mamma Mia again.
